Today's episode is all about how to encourage children's feelings of self-worth.
Many of our traditional discipline practices create a culture of competition and comparison. These practices are so embedded in our culture they often go unnoticed. We may think we are encouraging our children when unknowingly we may be discouraging them.
Encouragement GIVES to the child. Discouragement happens when we are trying to GET our child to do something or act in a certain way. Encouragement celebrates the child for who they are without a focus on an outcome.
